Government authorities have played down the negative effect of the ban on the deployment of Filipino workers in 41 countries, saying the impact “is not going to be very big,” as these countries did not receive too many OFWs.
The Department of Labor and Employment announced on Wednesday that it had issued the ban because these blacklisted countries failed to sign international conventions protecting foreign workers from abuse. Specifically, the DOLE board resolution posted on its website said none of these countries had signed agreements with the Philippines “on the protection of the rights of overseas Filipino workers.”
